For the money, you’re probably not going to find a better watch. Don’t get me wrong, if you spend more money you will get a better watch.
This one has good battery life (about two and a half days on a charge). I have mine doing constant monitoring of my heart rate, sleep quality, etc. It takes about one or two hours to go to full charge.
Heart rate I think is kind of iffy. It measures mine at a higher rate then with more conventional medical devices.
Step counting? Pretty accurate.
It does not know when I’m exercising.
I can’t get it to play music through the watch. I think it wants to listen to Prime Music because of Alexa, and I use Spotify. This is not a huge deal, because if I want to listen to music I listen through my headphones or through my phone speaker.
Annoyingly, during a phone call, it will sometimes spontaneously switch over to my watch. My wife has the same watch and hers does the same thing occasionally.
Caller ID? Amazing! That’s why I agreed to buy the thing in the first place. I work in the electrical contracting business, so I wear my phone on my hip in a holster that clips shut. Being able to see who’s calling without having to interrupt a conversation with a client, unclip my phone case, take out the phone and look at it to see if it’s spam or the company president is very convenient.
Fit and finish: not bad! As I said, I work in construction and I’ve been wearing this thing for about 2 months on a daily basis. The watch face has not cracked or scratched. It feels like the watch band is made out of silicone maybe? At any rate, it feels very comfortable and I like the way that the watch band end tucks underneath the watch band itself.
I think this bears repeating. I really really like the fact that the watch band end tucks away underneath the rest of the watch band. Normally, I like everything about a buckle type watch band except for the watch band end which catches on stuff when I move around. That drives me crazy! So much so that I wear watches that require a jeweler to adjust, or *shudder* a metal stretch band.
I love this watch band!
It is easy to operate. Single button, intuitive touch screen that is surprisingly accurate to the touch, decent software.
I’m not a huge fan of having something so small having too many options. I enjoy the simplicity of this watch. In this case, less is more.
Overall, it’s a decent watch. There’s a couple of glitches here and there, but for the money I don’t think you’re going to beat this.
